Book Review: Laurel Leff. Buried by the Times: The Holocaust and America\u27s Most Important Newspaper
No full textWhy did the New York Times persistently bury news of the Holocaust? asks Laurel Leff in her dramatic historical account of ‘‘America’s most important newspaper.’’ Leff, associate professor at Northeastern University and former journalist for the Wall Street Journal and Miami Herald, examines the complex combination of forces that led the Times to relegate news of the Holocaust to secondary status.

The first reason makes the Times’ failure more puzzling, the second more devastating,’’ charges Leff (9)

Laurel Falls
No full textThe popular 80-foot high Laurel Falls is named for mountain laurel, an evergreen shrub which blooms along the trail and near the falls in May. The waterfall consists of an upper and a lower section, today, divided by a walkway that crosses the stream at the base of the upper falls. This picture was made by Carlos C.

The mind and body are one
